<content type='text'>
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.

Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.

Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]

Add the tiny bit of infrastructure required to use platform MSI

core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move all the
device_type variables used in the bus to be constant structures as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

The value returned by an fsl-mc driver's remove function is mostly
ignored.  (Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero
and then device removal continues unconditionally.)

So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This
way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to
the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly.
There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to
return 0 before.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
  the two major things are:

   - firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
     to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
     to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
     always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
     ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
     system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
     with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
     them.

   - physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
     this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
     common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
     bus types should support this in the future.

  Smaller changes include:

   - driver_override api cleanups and fixes

   - error path cleanups and fixes

   - get_abi script fixes

   - deferred probe timeout changes.

  It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
  reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
  tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
  merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
  any linux-next testing.

  I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
  pull request.

  All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
  other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

* tag 'driver-core-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (55 commits)
  driver core: fix deadlock in __device_attach
  kernfs: Separate kernfs_pr_cont_buf and rename_lock.
  topology: Remove unused cpu_cluster_mask()
  driver core: Extend deferred probe timeout on driver registration
  MAINTAINERS: add Russ Weight as a firmware loader maintainer
  driver: base: fix UAF when driver_attach failed
  test_firmware: fix end of loop test in upload_read_show()
  driver core: location: Add "back" as a possible output for panel
  driver core: location: Free struct acpi_pld_info *pld
  driver core: Add "*" wildcard support to driver_async_probe cmdline param
  driver core: location: Check for allocations failure
  arch_topology: Trace the update thermal pressure
  kernfs: Rename kernfs_put_open_node to kernfs_unlink_open_file.
  export: fix string handling of namespace in EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS
  rpmsg: use local 'dev' variable
  rpmsg: Fix calling device_lock() on non-initialized device
  firmware_loader: describe 'module' parameter of firmware_upload_register()
  firmware_loader: Move definitions from sysfs_upload.h to sysfs.h
  firmware_loader: Fix configs for sysfs split
  selftests: firmware: Add firmware upload selftests
